Wood Four Round Depression Shaping Block

The Wood Four Round Depression Shaping Block is a large-format dapping and forming surface crafted from polished hardwood. Measuring 9" × 8-3/4" × 1" thick, this block features four shallow round depressions — each 3/4" deep — in graduated diameters, giving jewelers and metalsmiths a range of forming options in a single tool. Its hardwood construction provides a non-marring surface ideal for shaping soft, non-ferrous metals such as copper, gold, and silver without scratching or deforming delicate workpieces.

Use with a wood, nylon, or leather mallet to dome and shape sheet metal into smooth, consistent curves. The four depression diameters — 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", and 4" — accommodate a wide variety of forming tasks, from smaller components to larger decorative elements.
